We woke up at around 6:30 this morning, which actually wasn't as hard as it sounds. Had some breakfast. Headed to the SYTO office where we all met as a group. Together we were taught about the culture. Told the do's-and-don't's. No using your left hand. Unless completely necessary. That hand is for the dirty work. We were also warned about marriage proposals. Apparently they aren't a rare thing! Have I come across one? Almost. Came reaaaal close. A Ghanian was speaking to be at the beach and just about asked, when I was saved by a SYTO representative with a call to go.
We went to the beach today as well. It was lovely! People just swarmed and try to sale you everything under the sun! I'm not the best at saying no, so I think this may be a good time to learn. Did I get suckered into anything? Youbetcha. I bought a painting. What? Yeah, a painting. Don't get me wrong, it's lovely, but it's a painting. Completely unnecessary! Oh well. I also rode a horse. On the beach. Double first timer. Never ridden a horse, never been to Africa. Never ridden a horse on an African beach.
Sis I hope you know how to use these posts! As well as if you send emails to the family I would like to be included into them! Have you gotten your luggage yet? Newel thought you sounded home sick from your first email!
ReplyDeleteI got my luggage! Today! But more bad news, my shampoo and conditioner exploded in it. Awesome. So I had to clean that up which was a challenge because I don't really have anything to clean it up with. But it was okay. I'm just happy to have it. I didn't have deodorant and stuff. Which usually I can get away with that but... I'm in Ghana. Did I sound homesick in the email?? I'm not. I was a little while traveling here. I was a bit on edge. But I've been fine sense.
DeleteHow are you and Newel?? Did you arrive safely?
Ya we did! I tried calling yesterday but it was too late and then mom never sent me your phone number today so try calling me tomorrow if not I'll call you!
DeleteAlso, common sense, when traveling with liquids or lotions put them in plastic bags! You duh!
